# Flexible Diagram Validation
**Command:** `validate-diagrams-flexible`
**Description:** Validates all PlantUML and Structurizr diagrams in the workspace. This command offers flexible options for searching, generating images, and handling errors. It works from any directory.
**Usage:**
```
validate-diagrams-flexible [OPTIONS]
```
**Arguments:**
* `--search <DIR>`: Specify a directory to search for diagrams. (Default: current directory)
* `--recursive`: Search for diagrams recursively in all subdirectories.
* `--generate`: Generate diagram images (e.g., PNG, SVG).
* `--verbose`: Enable verbose output for detailed logging.
* `--fix`: Attempt to automatically fix common diagram issues.
* `--skip-broken`: Skip files with known issues during validation.
* `--help`: Show the help message.
**Examples:**
* `validate-diagrams-flexible --recursive --generate`: Find all diagrams in the project and generate corresponding images.
* `validate-diagrams-flexible --search docs/diagrams --verbose`: Validate only the diagrams found in the `docs/diagrams` directory with verbose output.
* `validate-diagrams-flexible --recursive --skip-broken`: Validate all diagrams, skipping any that are known to be problematic.
**Script:**
```bash
#!/bin/bash
# Wrapper to call the main validation script
# Find project root by looking for a sentinel file (e.g., Makefile)
find_project_root() {
local dir="$PWD"
while [ "$dir" != "/" ]; do
if [ -f "$dir/Makefile" ]; then
echo "$dir"
return
fi
dir=$(dirname "$dir")
done
echo ""
}
PROJECT_ROOT=$(find_project_root)
if [ -z "$PROJECT_ROOT" ]; then
echo "Error: Could not find project root. Make sure you are in the project directory."
exit 1
fi
# Call the main validation script with all arguments
bash "$PROJECT_ROOT/scripts/validate-all-diagrams.sh" "$@"
```
